Hades is the son of Cronus lord of the titans. This means he is brothers with Zeus and Poseidon. Together they overthrew Cronus
Hades is the Oldest of the Three brothers, but he escaped at the same time as them because his brother Zeus released them because as soon as they were born there father ate them.
After the three brothers overthrew their father they had to divide the realm. Zeus was given the sky and the clouds, Poseidon was given the sea and horses, and Hades was stuck with the underworld.
Hades is the ruler of the underworld he is to watch over the dead. though he watches over the dead he is not the god of death itself.
Hades being the god of the underworld receives all the riches of the earth because of its abundant minerals and such this is why is considered the rich god.
Hades asked his brother for a wife so Zeus captured Persephone for his wife. Demeter (Persephone's mother) was very upset and killed all the plants and changed the seasons. so Zeus released her back to her mother but Hades fed her a pomegranate which linked her to the underworld forever
Hades rules the underworld alongside his Queen Persephone his three headed dog Cerberus and many other minor and semi gods.
Though he is not the god of death (That's Thanatos) His job is to take care of those given a proper burial and brought over by Charon.
Since Hades is so feared and hated a vow taken on his name is especially binding.
These are Hades children
The Erinyes (Furies),
Zagreus (Dionysus),
Makaria (goddess of a blessed death)
